I just got the LS-CH1.0TL LinkStation Live 1TB on my MacBook OS X 10.4 the drive doesn't mount on bootup I have to connect to it manually everytime using the software provided by Buffalo.
I can't seem to make it mount on bootup I even tried adding it on the Login Items under Preferences. I have read it is because the NAS is a Dynamic drive and that it will only work when you actively connect to it then it will respond otherwise it wont connect on startup.
Is there a work around this? How do I make this drive Static? Do I need to assign it a static IP Address? As its currently using DHCP. When you connect to it, it goes to Network/drive_name but I want it to be Static so you can access it immediately on the network: Network/Servers
Do I need to assign users and passwords to connect to a Static one? Also it is using SMB to connect to the NAS is that OK or is it best to use another protocol?
Hope you can help.
